His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco has designated Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri to serve as the nation's first female prime minister, thereby establishing her as the second woman to lead a government throughout the Arab world.Following the legislative elections conducted on September 23, 2026, this appointment was formalized on September 29, 2026. Her centrist Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) achieved the strongest electoral performance, securing 97 of the 395 seats in the lower chamber of parliament. In accordance with Morocco's constitutional framework, the sovereign is obligated to appoint the prime minister from the party commanding the greatest parliamentary representation.El Mansouri, a 50-year-old legal professional with expertise in law and advocacy, was born in Marrakesh on January 3, 1976. Her distinguished career includes service as Mayor of Marrakesh, where she was initially elected in 2009 as the municipality's first female mayor and subsequently re-elected in 2021. Additionally, she served as Urban Planning and Housing Minister within the preceding coalition administration.In her capacity as prime minister-designate, El Mansouri is engaged in consultations to establish a functional coalition government, as the PAM has not secured an absolute parliamentary majority. Her administration must address several significant national priorities:Economic and Social Reform: The party's campaign platform emphasized addressing considerable youth dissatisfaction through commitments to generate one million employment opportunities within five years and enhance funding for healthcare, education, and social welfare initiatives.Migration and Border Pressures: The government must manage persistent migration concerns, notably exemplified by a significant border incident at the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in July.Global Preparations: Her office will coordinate substantial infrastructure development and organizational efforts for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which Morocco will co-host in partnership with Spain and Portugal.No woman has previously assumed the position of executive president or supreme head of state in any Arab League member nation. Nevertheless, Najla Bouden was appointed in September 2021 by President Kais Saied, becoming the first woman to lead a government in Tunisia and throughout the broader Arab region, serving in this role until August 2023.

In this episode, Maya Ayed, founder of Alya Health, joins us to talk about why some of the most powerful health practices may be much simpler than we've been led to believe. She shares the Tunisian family tradition that changed her relationship with food, her gut, and her health. From olive oil + polyphenols to gut health, blood sugar, hormones, and eating seasonally, Maya breaks down the lessons she brought from Tunisia into her life in the US. She also shares how her own health struggles became the catalyst for leaving tech and building a company around women's health. We also get into entrepreneurship, trusting your path, knowing when to make a career pivot, and why “less is more” might be the wellness philosophy we need right now. This conversation is about personal growth, nourishing your body, and building a life + business with purpose. We also talk about:  Maya's Tunisian roots + the Mediterranean lifestyle How her own bloating, fatigue, and skin issues led her to investigate her gut health The difference between regular olive oil + high-polyphenol olive oil Gut health, inflammation, blood sugar, and metabolic health Why eating seasonally + prioritizing whole foods can change how we nourish ourselves The wellness industry's obsession with supplements, powders, and quick fixes Leaving a career in tech to pursue women's health How Maya built a community before she built her company Why you'll never feel completely ready to make a big career leap Entrepreneurship, resilience, identity, and having fun along the way Resources: Go to https://alyahealth.com/s/almost30 and use code ALMOST30 for 20% off.  Alya Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drinkalya/ Alya TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drinkalya Maya's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mayafromtunisia Maya's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayaayed/ Sponsors:  EllaOla | Go to https://EllaOla.com/ALMOST30 for 20% off your first purchase.

A 95. adás vendége Szaladják István, Balázs Béla-díjas operatőr, fotográfus, zen mester, a témánk pedig a fényképek olvasása és elemzése. .Istvánnal mintegy 10 éve találkoztam először, Vancsó Zoltán egyik képnézegetős eseményén, és egészen elbűvölt, ahogy a fotókról beszélt és amilyen érzékenységgel tudta értelmezni a vizuális látványt. Régóta terveztem meghívni a podcastbe és nagyon örülök, hogy ez most végre összejött. Az eredeti szándékom szerint a mai adásban a képek elemzése mellett a meditáció és a fotográfia kapcsolatáról is beszélgettünk volna, azonban felkészülés közben úgy éreztem, ez utóbbi témáról érdemes lenne egy önálló adásban is mélyebben elmerülni. Szerencsére erre István is nyitott, úgyhogy 2027-ben erre is sort kerítünk. A mai beszélgetésben tehát teljes mértékben a képek elemzésére helyezzük a fókuszt, ugyanis rengeteget lehet tanulni abból, hogy mitől működik egy adott fotó, és mitől lesz művészeti értelemben jónak nevezhető egy alkotás..István 20 fotót választott erre az alkalomra, én hoztam még hármat, illetve a fényképek előtt japán fametszeteket is elemzünk Hiroshige és Hokusai mesterektől. A YouTube videóban láthatók az éppen elemzett képek, illetve az alábbi linken az összes alkotást megtaláljátok, említésük sorrendjében: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JdipsP5_25j_PxDHtxEyBBdL2rV-5mhS?usp=sharing.Mielőtt ebbe fejest ugranánk, a bevezetőben kérdezem Istvánt többek között arról, hogy mit értünk jó fotó alatt, milyen szerepe van az önkifejezésnek és egyáltalán, hogyan hatnak ránk a művek. Ezután következik az adás fő része a képek elemzésével, sok-sok ikonikus és kevésbé ismert fotóval, a levezetésben pedig az életéről és az inspirációiról kérdezem majd Istvánt. Fontos adás ez számomra és remélem, ti is hasznosnak és érdekesnek találjátok majd. Jó szórakozást kívánok hozzá!.A képek, megjelenésük sorrendjében:32.44 - 35.10 - Utagawa Hiroshige35.12 - 36.28 - Utagawa Hiroshige36.29 - 38.20 - Utagawa Hiroshige38.20 - 41.40 - Utagawa Hiroshige41.41 - 43.20 - Utagawa Hiroshige43.21 - 44.15 - Utagawa Hiroshige44.16 - 45.21 - Utagawa Hiroshige45.22 - 45.58 - Katsushika Hokusai45.59 - 47.04 - Utagawa Hiroshige47.05 - 47.31 - Utagawa Hiroshige47.32 - 49.05 - Utagawa Hiroshige49.25 - 51.51 - Fan Ho - Hong Kong Venice, 196251.52 - 53.34 - Ernst Haas - Bangkok, Thailand, 195553.35 - 54.27 - Elliott Erwitt - North Carolina, USA, 195054.27 - 56.19 - Edward S.

As the BBC's Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet has witnessed and reported on some of the most consequential events of our time. She has reported from Iran and Afghanistan since 1988, played a leading role in the BBC's coverage of the Arab Spring uprisings reporting from Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria, and has covered major wars as well as efforts to make peace in the Middle East since 1994. In 2022 she covered the Russian invasion of Ukraine live from Kyiv as Putin's tanks crossed the border. And most recently having reported on the ground in Iran in February 2026, Doucet has been a hugely insightful voice explaining the consequences of the U.S-Israeli led war on the country and what it means for the world. Doucet is renowned for her compassionate, human-centred reporting often in times of war and suffering. In September 2026, she came to the Intelligence Squared stage to share her reflections and insights from the frontlines. Doucet also discussed the themes and approach of her Women's Prize-winning book, The Finest Hotel in Kabul, a vivid history of Afghanistan as seen from the iconic Inter-Continental Hotel. Drawing on years of interviews with its staff and guests, the book traces the country's tumultuous history – from the Soviet withdrawal and civil war to the US invasion and the return of the Taliban – through the prism of this landmark hotel and the lives of the staff who kept it running during war and peace. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Nella nota diffusa domenica dalla Farnesina sulla missione del ministro degli Esteri Antonio Tajani all'81ª Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite la parola condanna compare una volta sola, e appartiene a mercoledì 23 settembre, al Consiglio di sicurezza sull'Ucraina, dove Tajani ribadirà la condanna "per gli attacchi russi" sui civili, chiederà un cessate il fuoco prima dell'inverno e parlerà di ricostruzione. Oggi, su delega della presidente del Consiglio, è lui che guida la delegazione italiana all'apertura. Giovedì tocca al Medio Oriente. Lì la nota prevede l'impegno "per la ricostruzione di Gaza", cioè della Striscia dove Amnesty International, nel rapporto del 5 dicembre 2024, ha concluso che Israele commette un genocidio. Poi sostegno umanitario, accoglienza, Food for Gaza, corridoi universitari. Solo ricostruzione. Eppure un cessate il fuoco a Gaza esiste già dall'ottobre 2025, e secondo il ministero della Salute di Gaza da allora i morti sono oltre 1.300. Sabato un drone israeliano ha ucciso a Jabalia Basir al-Bursh, figlio di Munir al-Bursh, direttore generale proprio del ministero che tiene quel conto. Le autorità sanitarie lo hanno messo nel bilancio del giorno, l'esercito israeliano lo ha definito comandante della forza d'élite di Hamas: il ministero del padre ha dato il nome, l'esercito che lo ha colpito la didascalia. In Tunisia intanto l'11 settembre un giudice istruttore ha prorogato di quattro mesi la detenzione dei quattro membri tunisini della Global Sumud Flotilla, e Wael Naouar, che rifiuta il cibo dal 16 agosto, ora ha accanto gli altri tre in sciopero della fame. Quel giovedì, secondo il Times of Israel, all'Assemblea parla anche Benjamin Netanyahu, lo stesso giorno in cui l'Italia ha in agenda la ricostruzione, e nel programma di quel giovedì la parola condanna manca. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

A ovest di Gaza City i residenti hanno scavato a mani nude fino all'alba, racconta Al Jazeera, sotto un palazzo di sei piani che era già stato lesionato dai bombardamenti israeliani ed è crollato nella notte del 16 settembre mentre ospitava una settantina di sfollati. La Protezione civile palestinese conta cinque bambini fra i morti. Decine di persone risultano disperse. All'inizio del mese, in un briefing riservato alla Divisione di Gaza ricostruito da Ynet, il capo di stato maggiore Eyal Zamir aveva detto al primo ministro Benjamin Netanyahu e al ministro della Difesa Israel Katz che Hamas è ormai «un'organizzazione sconfitta», e lo spiegava così: ha smesso di sparare, ha smesso di rispondere ai colpi. Nella stessa ricostruzione di Ynet l'esercito si attribuisce il controllo di oltre il 64 per cento della Striscia. In Tunisia, intanto, l'11 settembre un giudice istruttore ha prolungato di quattro mesi la detenzione di Wael Naouar e di altri tre membri tunisini della Global Sumud Flotilla, che secondo il loro comitato sono tutti in sciopero della fame. Il 15 settembre il Washington Post e l'Associated Press hanno scritto che l'amministrazione di Donald Trump prepara per Israele un pacchetto da 2,8 miliardi di dollari con 40.000 bombe da duemila libbre, pagate in prevalenza con fondi pubblici che Washington gira a Israele perché le compri negli Stati Uniti. Per il Washington Post è la più grande vendita singola di quelle bombe da anni, e sarebbero destinate al Paese che il 16 settembre 2025 la Commissione d'inchiesta indipendente delle Nazioni Unite ha ritenuto responsabile di genocidio a Gaza. Nel 2024 l'amministrazione di Joe Bidenne aveva sospesa una spedizione. Temeva vittime di massa. Quarantamila bombe, per un nemico che secondo il suo generale ha smesso di rispondere.L'esercito israeliano ha risposto all'agenzia France-Presse che l'accusa di voler eliminare i palestinesi come popolo è "falsa, priva di fondamento e palesemente distaccata dalla realtà", e lo stesso giorno i soldati sono entrati a Betlemme e nei campi profughi di Dheisheh e Aida e hanno arrestato quattro palestinesi, come riferisce l'agenzia palestinese Wafa. Una di quelle parole l'aveva già scritta un ministro. Il 19 settembre 2025, su X, il titolare delle Finanze Bezalel Smotrich annunciava che avrebbe usato ogni strumento a sua disposizione per impedire la nascita di uno Stato palestinese, compreso il collasso dell'Autorità palestinese, "attraverso lo strangolamento economico". #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Get in touch - leave me a messageBuilding more renewable generation is not enough if the grid cannot carry the electricity to where it is needed. Curtailment, connection queues and delayed infrastructure are turning grid capacity into a climate and competitiveness constraint.My guest today is Niklas Persson, CEO of Grid Integration at Hitachi Energy, with nearly three decades in electrification. We look at what happens as industry, transport and data centres demand more clean power while transmission infrastructure, permitting and grid connections struggle to keep pace.We examine why the grid may need to arrive before demand is certain, how interconnectors can reduce the cost of resilience, and whether energy independence could actually require greater cross-border interdependence. We also explore HVDC, the 600 MW ELMED link between Tunisia and Italy, and a harder policy question: when grid capacity is scarce, who should get connected first?Listen now to understand why electricity generation is only half the decarbonisation challenge, and what has to change if clean power is actually going to reach the businesses, vehicles and communities that need it.Sign up to Climate Confident+ for deep dive analysis of the major climate and energy stories of the day.Support the showPodcast subscribersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers:Anita KrajncCecilia SkarupaBen GrossJerry SweeneyAndreas WernerStephen CarrollRoger ArnoldAnd remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast  - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.

Episode 169This week on Cruise Conversations, we're joined by Mackenzie to recap her recent 7-night Mediterranean cruise aboard MSC Meraviglia, including what it's like experiencing one of MSC Cruises' biggest perks: MSC Yacht Club.After taking her first cruise while stationed in Europe, Mackenzie and her wife quickly caught the cruise bug and have now sailed six times since 2024. For this trip, they boarded MSC Meraviglia in Marseille, France, for a port-heavy Mediterranean itinerary featuring Spain and Italy, along with an unexpected itinerary change when weather prevented their planned visit to Tunisia. We also get an inside look at the MSC Yacht Club experience, from priority embarkation and the Top Sail Lounge to exclusive dining, pool areas, thermal spa access, elevated service, and even the sometimes-helpful priority elevators.

Many conversations about development for focus on aid: how much, from whom, and for how long. But aid has never been more than a small part of what pays for a country's development, and in 2025 it fell by 23.1%. The need to rethink our attitude to development has inspired the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition (FDCC). In this week's episode, Alexia Latortue and Radha Rajkotia of FDCC talk to Tim Phillips about its first report,. The report assesses the development challenges of LMICs using a balance sheet approach, with assets on one side and liabilities on the other. Tax revenue, remittances, pension and sovereign wealth funds, trade, natural resources and the skills of the population sit on the asset side. Unsustainable debt, illicit financial flows, poor credit ratings, weak institutions, climate exposure and conflict sit on the other.The idea? Each country focuses on the policies to develop their most important assets, and minimise their most problematic liabilities. They argue that governments and donors alike should stop thinking of developing countries as recipients of aid, and start thinking of them as partners in economic development.The research behind this episode:Future of Development Cooperation Coalition. 2026. "The Development Balance Sheet: Rethinking Development Cooperation from the Ground Up." Published 20 May 2026. Research team: Radha Rajkotia, John Norris and Mma Amara Ekeruche.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Alexia Latortue, and Radha Rajkotia. 2026. "Rethinking development cooperation: The case for a 'balance sheet' approach." VoxDev Talks (podcast). About the guestsAlexia Latortue is Head of Secretariat of the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition and a Distinguished Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for Global Development. She served as Assistant Secretary for International Trade and Development at the US Treasury, where she led work on reforming the multilateral development banks and on using public finance to pull private capital into emerging markets. She was previously Deputy CEO and Managing Director for Corporate Strategy at the Millennium Challenge Corporation, sat on the Executive Committee of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and spent ten years at the World Bank working on financial inclusion, ending as Deputy CEO of CGAP.Radha Rajkotia is Director of Research at the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition and lead researcher on this report. She was Chief Executive Officer of Building Markets and, before that, Chief Research and Policy Officer at Innovations for Poverty Action, running its strategy across 22 countries. She spent eleven years leading the economic recovery and development unit at the International Rescue Committee, on work spanning cash-based relief and job creation in conflict settings. She holds a PhD in Refugee Studies from the University of Sussex, is a Senior Policy Fellow at the Henry Leir Institute at Tufts University, and teaches at Georgetown.Research cited in this episodeThe balance sheet approach. The report sets out assets and liabilities but argues that neither is a checklist. Some entries are country-specific, such as natural resource endowments or exposure to climate risk. Others are structural, such as a sovereign credit rating, which constrains or enables progress regardless of what a government does at home. The point of the exercise is situational awareness before prioritisation, not a universal to-do list.The 30 national development strategies. The research team reviewed the current development strategies of 30 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. All 30 prioritise economic transformation and human capital. Governance appears as a stand-alone pillar in two-thirds of them. Inequality is a defining element in almost every Latin American strategy and largely absent as an explicit constraint in Africa and Asia. Most countries frame technology as digital economy rather than as AI governance or chip access, which the report reads as a widening sophistication gap.Nigeria and Ethiopia. The report's worked comparison. Ethiopia attracts more than three times Nigeria's foreign direct investment despite being roughly 100 million people smaller. Nigeria has strong tax revenues, considerable pension fund assets, a heavy debt servicing burden and large losses to illicit financial flows. Ethiopia has a narrow tax base and weak compliance, suffers far less from illicit flows, carries a lighter debt service burden and is nonetheless in debt distress.Debt as both asset and liability. Low-income countries spend 18% of government revenue on average servicing foreign debt. Angola, Laos, Bhutan, Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, the Bahamas, Tunisia, Zambia, Benin and Senegal each spent more than 30% of tax revenues on debt servicing in 2024. As of 2026, 27 countries face a high risk of debt distress and nine are already in it, the majority of them in Africa. Latortue argues that the problem is the price, tenor and currency of debt rather than debt itself, and that restructuring machinery built around the Paris Club has not kept up with a creditor base that now includes China, Gulf states and a large body of commercial lenders.Credit ratings. Only eight countries across Latin America and Africa hold an investment-grade rating from Moody's, Fitch or S&P. They are Chile, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Botswana and Mauritius. A UNDP analysis cited in the report estimates that flawed ratings have cost African countries as much as $74.5 billion in excess interest and foregone investment, more than the continent's entire net receipt of official development assistance. The African Union is launching its own credit rating agency in 2026.South-South trade. UNCTAD figures in the report put South-South merchandise exports at about $0.5 trillion in 1995 and $6.8 trillion in 2025. Some 57% of developing-country exports now go to other developing markets. Rajkotia points to the Africa Continental Free Trade Area and to Mercosur as existing infrastructure that could support production integration rather than trade agreements alone.Demographics. Africa's working-age population is expected to double by 2050, which the report treats as an asset conditional on policy. By 2050 only 26% of the world's population is projected to live in Europe, North America and China, falling to 18% by 2100.Domestic capital in Africa. Latortue cites more than $4 trillion of assets held across the African continent, a figure that combines central bank reserves, commercial bank assets, institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, pensions and insurance. Her argument is that moving even a small share of it into productive investment would outweigh anything aid can now do. The report notes that Ghana mandated 5% of its pension fund for venture capital in 2025 and that Mexico legislated for an allowance of up to 30%.Conflict. The one item Latortue places firmly on one side of the ledger. She counts at least 60 live conflicts worldwide. The Peace Research Institute Oslo recorded more conflicts in 2024 than at any point since the Second World War, and more than half of all conflict-affected states now face at least two separate internal conflicts. Development work has a role in keeping the real economy going, she says, but the solutions are political.More VoxDev Talks episodesThe end of aid dependency. W.

NPFL clubs face different situations as they play their 2nd-leg preliminary rounds in the various CAF club competitions. Champions, Rangers International go away in the Champions League qualifier having managed only a draw at home to their Benin Rep opponents. Rivers United have a draw from away so will be confident as they host the 2nd-leg. Shooting Stars of Ibadan go to CS Sfaxien of Tunisia with a slender 1-0 lead but they would be hopeful because that 2nd-leg would be behind closed doors. Cup winners, Elkanemi take a 3-0 lead to their 2nd-leg match. Engineer Kowope and his gang of Timothy Dehinbo, Chris Emenyonu and Samuel Bamisebi run the rule over these matches in this special episode of the podcast.

Just under 20 years ago Kenya pioneered the use of mobile money. Since then, other countries in Africa have carved out a share of the digital market for themselves, from gaming in Morocco to artificial intelligence in Tunisia. But the picture is not the same across the whole continent. A lot of governments face too many socio-economic challenges and limited resources to spend money on digital infrastructures. Instead, foreign countries like the United States and China are investing in the African tech market. The bulk of South Africa's data centre investment comes from American providers of cloud, networking and storage services. And while this may provide a boost for local economies and create local jobs, it also creates some risks, as data resides outside of the country. There are efforts at the continent, national and regional levels to reposition the continent from being a consumer to a creator in the digital marketplace, but there are concerns that there isn't enough joined up thinking to allow Africa to take control of its digital future?(Photo: A robotic waiter stands on standby at Robot Café in Nairobi, Kenya, the country's first restaurant to employ humanoid robots as waiters.

In this episode of The Common Good, Brian From reflects on the tension between outward reputation and inward reality, beginning with JD Greer’s sobering warning from Revelation 3 about the church in Sardis: “You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.” Brian unpacks the danger of spiritual hypocrisy, hidden compromise, and the gap between what people see and what Jesus sees. He also shares a deeply personal and emotional story about dropping his daughter off for a Fulbright scholarship in Tunisia, reflecting on the mix of pride, joy, grief, and love that comes with parenting adult children. That moment leads into a broader conversation about how two things can be true at once: we can be excited for someone’s calling while also feeling the loss of their absence. Later in the episode, Brian responds to a controversial report that MercyMe received millions of dollars through child sponsorship promotions over several years. He wrestles with questions of transparency, Christian celebrity, money, and whether a good cause is enough if the financial arrangement feels unclear or “icky.” The conversation raises larger concerns about the business side of Christian music and ministry. Brian turns to a reflection on Wendell Berry and heaven, exploring the connection between creation, community, body and soul, and the hope of a restored world where heaven and earth meet. It’s a thoughtful, challenging, and personal episode that moves from conviction to family to faith to the beauty of God’s creation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the growing concerns surrounding mass shortages as we already see rations put forward for free range eggs as governments claim that organic eggs "pollute the world." Yes, seriously. On top of this we are witnessing massive grid shortfalls where Texas faces an 80% shortfall by 2030. The fertilizer shortage continues to devastate many farmers in the United States due to the Iran War and the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz which doesn't appear to be letting up any time soon. To top it off, President Trump recently started importing Argentinian beef as American farmers suffered. Now, shortly after this move was made, 30,000 pounds of Argentinian beef sold in Texas and Florida has been recalled for being tainted. Many Americans are having problems actually figuring out where the meat they're buying at the store is from. Worldwide, we are seeing shortages. From the UK to Tunisia, from the United States to Canada. All of this is just in time for the governments of the world to implement their digital ID system with rationed foods based on social credit scores. It wouldn't be the first time we've seen food controls, however this time it is far more dangerous because the surveillance surrounding what people purchase is far more robust. In this video, we delve into examples of the rations we're already witnessing worldwide alongside digital IDs, carbon credit scores and more. We also talk about the United Nation's "Pact For The Future" which includes the ability for the UN to unilaterally in 193 countries shut down bank accounts and force people into food rations based on what they say online. British gas bosses as we've reported in the past are pushing for gas rations as well. This is a real problem and most are simply unprepared for it. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

What does it mean to understand ourselves as existing somewhere between the planet and the cosmos?In this episode of About Art, Heidi Zuckerman speaks with artist Lita Albuquerque as part of a special series created in collaboration with the Aspen Art Fair.For more than five decades, Albuquerque has explored our relationship to the Earth, the cosmos, time, color, consciousness, and the natural world. Born in Tunisia, raised between North Africa and Europe, and based for much of her life in California, she describes how landscape became fundamental to the way she sees and makes work.Together, they discuss the desert as a place of discovery, the relationship between nature and culture, ephemeral art and what remains after an artwork disappears, and Albuquerque's understanding of the Earth as “a sculpture in space” and the cosmos as an installation in which we participate every day.Their conversation moves between the immense and the intimate: astronomical time and everyday life, the movement of the planet and the feeling of the sun on our skin, creativity and freedom, remembering and forgetting. At its center is the possibility of another way of living—one grounded in attention, curiosity, presence, and the freedom to follow what we love.As Albuquerque says, “The more you slow down, the more you can hear yourself.”

Tunisia is the ancient, sun-baked heart of the Maghreb: a small North African country carrying a hell of a lot of history. This is where mighty Carthage once challenged Rome, where Roman mosaics and amphitheaters rival Italy's own, and where whitewashed medinas, Saharan oases, and Mediterranean beaches sit within easy reach of one another. Add couscous by the platterful, warm hospitality, and a starring role in the Arab Spring, and you have a country that punches far above its size.Love the pod? Get the guide!

When one washes Netilat Yadayim upon waking in the morning, he should use enough water that it covers both sides of each hand, until the wrist. One should move his hand somewhat as he pours the water on it, to ensure that the water covers both sides, the back and the palm. If one has a limited amount of water for Netilat Yadayim, which does not suffice to cover the entire hand, then he should wash the back of the fingers, until the knuckles where the fingers meet the wrist. When one cannot wash the entire hand, this minimum amount suffices to fulfill the Misva, and he recites the Beracha as usual. The Ish Masliah (Rav Masliah Mazuz, Tunisia, 1912–1971) writes that one may – and in fact should – rely on this leniency even if he can go to a different house to bring more water. It is preferable to wash one's hands promptly in the morning with the minimum amount of water than to delay the washing until one goes elsewhere to bring the preferred amount. On Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Ab, when washing is forbidden, one washes his hands with the minimum required amount, washing only the back of the hand, until the knuckles. The Kabbalists explain that although the forces of impurity generally cling to the entirety of the hand, on these two days – Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Ab – they cling only to the fingers. On Yom Kippur, due to the high level of sanctity that a person attains, the forces of impurity are incapable of extending beyond the fingers. And on Tisha B'Ab, the forces of impurity feel overconfident in their ability to cause harm that they are content remaining on the fingers. This explanation is brought by the Kaf Ha'haim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad- Jerusalem, 1870-1939) and the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909). If one has a limited amount of water for Netilat Yadayim before a meal, and must wash only until his knuckles, then, according to the Ben Ish Hai, he does not recite the Beracha of "Al Netilat Yadayim" over this washing. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, disagreed, and maintained that the Beracha may be recited in such a case, since the person satisfies the obligation, albeit on the minimum standard.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“The deepest problems of modern life derive from the claim of the individual to preserve the autonomy and individuality of his existence.” ~Georg Simmel (1858-1918), German sociologist, philosopher, and critic “Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.”~Elizabeth Elliot (1926-2015), missionary, author, and speaker “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”~Corrie ten Boom (1892-1983), Dutch survivor of a Nazi death camp “The condition of the Psalmist's mind was complex—he feared, but that fear did not fill the whole area of his mind.... It is possible, then, for fear and faith to occupy the mind at the same moment. We are strange beings, and our experience in the divine life is stranger still. We are often in a twilight, where light and darkness are both present and it is hard to tell which predominates. It is a blessed fear which drives us to trust. Unregenerate fear drives from God, gracious fear drives to him.”~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London pastor “Stand fast in the faith, and love one another, all of you, and be not offended at my sufferings.”~Reported to be the last words of Perpetua (c.182-c.203), a 22-year-old noblewoman and new mother, killed for her Christian faith in Carthage (modern-day Tunisia) “Loving God—really loving Him—means living out His commands no matter what the cost.”~Charles Colson (1931-2012), attorney, political advisor, convicted felon, advocate for prison reform, and midlife convert to Christ “…reason is not king in human beings, the heart is. Therefore, to change your actions, you must change your desires. But your desires will change, only if the Holy Spirit who wrote the Bible also writes his laws on your heart.”~John Ashley Null, theologian at Humboldt University Berlin and North African Bishop “The faith of the church must be tried by God's word, and not God's word by the church; neither yet my faith.”~Jane Grey (1537-1554), English noblewoman and very brief de facto monarch of EnglandSERMON PASSAGEPsalm 56 (ESV)To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;  all day long an attacker oppresses me;2 my enemies trample on me all day long,   for many attack me proudly.3 When I am afraid,   I put my trust in you.4 In God, whose word I praise,   in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.   What can flesh do to me? 5 All day long they injure my cause;   all their thoughts are against me for evil.6 They stir up strife, they lurk;   they watch my steps,   as they have waited for my life.7 For their crime will they escape?   In wrath cast down the peoples, O God! 8 You have kept count of my tossings;   put my tears in your bottle.   Are they not in your book?9 Then my enemies will turn back    in the day when I call.   This I know, that God is for me.10 In God, whose word I praise,   in the Lord, whose word I praise,11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.   What can man do to me? 12 I must perform my vows to you, O God;   I will render thank offerings to you.13 For you have delivered my soul from death,   yes, my feet from falling,  that I may walk before God   in the light of life.1 Samuel 21 10 And David rose and fled that day from Saul and went to Achish the king of Gath. 11 And the servants of Achish said to him, “Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to one another of him in dances,         ‘Saul has struck down his thousands,          and David his ten thousands'?” 12 And David took these words to heart and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 13 So he changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands and made marks on the doors of the gate and let his spittle run down his beard. 14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Behold, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me? 15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to behave as a madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?”

Fertility rates are falling in the Europe and the US, but also in places China, Tunisia and Colombia. What can explain this global trend, and what are the political and economic consequences of low birth rates societies? In this episode, we bring FT chief data reporter John Burn-Murdoch to make sense about these trends.

In this session, attendees will be equipped to navigate the discernment process of identifying the best-fit sending agency for them.

Le vicende di una famiglia siciliana emigrata a Tunisi (non in America perché non c'erano abbastanza soldi e perché in quel modo si poteva essere più vicini alla propria terra). Siamo a cavallo fra gli anni '50 e '60, nel momento in cui la Tunisia diventa indipendente e, a causa delle nuove leggi, francesi e italiani iniziano ad andare via e a tornare in patria. Anna ha 16 anni e parla siciliano e francese (all'epoca Tunisi era veramente una Babele dal punto di vista delle lingue). Vive con la madre, che è un'abile sarta, e le due sorelle, mentre il padre si assenta per lunghi periodi per lavorare come contadino in campagna. Il rapporto con la migliore amica, Marinette, una francese di famiglia benestante, i primi innamoramenti, ma anche la scoperta di alcuni segreti di famiglia. Tutto questo viene raccontato nel romanzo "Le ragazze di Tunisi" (Mondadori) di Luca Bianchini. Una storia che, come si legge in esergo, è ispirata alle vicende della madre dell'autore che a Tunisi ha vissuto gli anni più belli.

What Happens When the Story You're Reporting Is the Story You're Not Allowed to Tell?  Gabriel Harrison was 30, working as a journalist in Tunisia, and had been handed the story that would end his career. It described a specific mechanism operating across North Africa in the years after Gaddafi's fall, one whose implications did not align with the version of that region most Western audiences had been given. His editor said the story was "not relevant to Libya."  He understood immediately what that meant. Three months later he quit.  Two years of a dark night of the soul followed. Then he moved to South America to join what he was told was an autonomous community, which turned out to be a sophisticated scam whose leaders are now being searched for by Interpol. Gabriel is known online as Orpheus. He crossed 65,000 Instagram followers in four weeks by saying, publicly, the things he had spent years being told he could not. He is the founder of Aquari, a bioresonance jewelry brand backed by peer-reviewed cell research.  He is a student of Rupert Sheldrake's work on morphic resonance and formative causation. He thinks seriously about what he calls the fork between transhumanism and ultrahumanism, and whether the next chapter of human civilization merges us with machine systems or takes us in the opposite direction entirely.Topics include:  What two years after Gaddafi actually looked like from the ground The story his editor would not let him publish Belonging to yourself at 33 The autonomous community in Paraguay and the four-year legal battle it produced Transhumanism vs ultrahumanism Morphic resonance and the hundredth monkey Why attention is currency, and most people are spending it without knowing.CONNECT WITH GABRIEL HARRISON  Instagram: @disco_orpheus  Bioresonance jewelry: aquari.storeWORK WITH DOV Website: https://dovbaron.com Email: dov@dovbaron.com    Please rate, review, and subscribe wherever you listen.

A two-page Middle East policy briefing bearing former Treasury secretary Larry Summers's name was found among the Jeffrey Epstein documents released through the House Oversight Committee. Dated to early 2013, the briefing summarized political and security developments across ten countries during the upheaval of the Arab Spring, including Egypt, Syria, Israel, Iran, Libya, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. Its contents ranged from political assassinations and civil unrest to Iranian nuclear negotiations, Israeli military activity and regional diplomatic maneuvering. The sophistication and breadth of the analysis suggested it was prepared for a senior policymaker or someone with access to high-level foreign-policy reporting.The document adds another dimension to the long-running relationship between Summers and Epstein, showing that material connected to Summers and involving sensitive international affairs ended up in Epstein's possession. However, the document alone does not establish whether Summers personally wrote it for Epstein, forwarded it to him or whether Epstein obtained it through someone else. Combined with later emails showing Summers seeking personal advice from Epstein and testimony that Summers introduced Bill Clinton to him, the briefing illustrates the extraordinary level of intellectual, political and institutional access Epstein cultivated. What Epstein intended to do with the information remains unknown, but its presence in his files raises further questions about why powerful officials continued providing him with privileged access long after his criminal conduct had become public.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Larry Summers' 2013 Middle East Briefing in the Epstein Files

Composer Missy Mazzoli discusses her opera The Galloping Cure, which fuses a live orchestra with electronic beats and features a charismatic antihero and talking dogs. An allegory for a crisis which has become a worldwide epidemic, the production by Opera Ventures Productions and Scottish Opera receives its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Festival and is a reimagining of a story by Franz Kafka. Artist Joyce W Cairns is one of Scotland's most renowned painters, and in 2018 she was elected the first President of the Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture. She talks to us about making the move from mythological to autobiographical painting and about how she was inspired to create her impressive War Tourist series of paintings - drawn from research in Normandy and Tunisia - after inheriting a suitcase of her father's World War II memorabilia. And as the heatwave continues across parts of the UK and Europe, we ask how cultural institutions are responding. Is the closure of galleries due to uncomfortable temperatures going to become the norm? Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan
